<p>The Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and chief officers will make the decisions
on how technology will be used by officers at a local level, including the data storage
requirements arising from increased use of body worn videos.</p><p>Although storage
solutions are an operational issue for policing, we are clear more needs to be done
to enable forces to utilise body worn video in the most effective way to ensure that
data can flow smoothly throughout the criminal justice system. This is why we are
working with policing to embed interoperability between forces and encouraging the
use of common standards. These standards will support data sharing across the criminal
justice system, including policing, in a way that anyone can access and understand.
Open standards along with the work of the Police ICT Company, will help to create
an open and active market to deliver better value for police ICT spend.</p>
